I love dogs! Fully fenced yard!
Pet care experience
I began my dog training business, Fun With Fido, in 2001. I'm now expanding to do dog sitting on a select basis. You can choose care and feeding only or you can add-on training for an additional fee. My yard is fully fenced with an array of agility equipment. Dogs have a lot of fun while in my care! I am a lifelong dog lover and owner; I began training as a child and fell in love with the precision of competitive obedience. As I've gotten older, I've changed with the times to embrace positive reinforcement training. Your dog will not be corrected in my home. Redirection, management, and rewards are the 3-prongs of my care. At this time, I'm accepting only small dogs, under 30 pounds.
Reviews
Melinda was great! I will definitely book her again. She made sure my little dog was comfortable both mentally & physically (it was super hot that day).
Melinda is a very experienced dog trainer, handler, and owner. Because of her expertise, people ask her for help in resolving issues with their dogs. She is more than qualified in becoming a dog sitter.

Information Melinda S. would like to know about your pet
I'll want to know what your dog's favorite things are. Where does he usually sleep? What toys/games does he enjoy? Does he have a training history? How much exercise, and what type, does he usually get? It's imperative that he gets along with other dogs as I have three.
A typical day
Dogs in my home have full access to the home including furniture. They will go outside as needed with extended outdoor playtime in good weather. Does your dog love balls? My yard is great for ball play. Think your dog would like to try agility? I can do that! Does your dog enjoy running and playing with other dogs? My three are happy to oblige!
